Chapter 6140 Horizontal Firepower

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lin Rui smiled slightly and said nothing.  He and Eric moved quickly towards the machine gun.

    When he got to the machine gun, Lin Rui realized that this thing was interesting.  This is a 14.5mm twin anti-aircraft machine gun.

    Although this thing is inconspicuous, it is the famous ZPU-2 anti-aircraft machine gun.

    In the late Second World War, although the Soviet army had been equipped with a large number of 12.7 mm Deshka heavy machine guns, their power was slightly insufficient when facing lightly armored targets.

    So after the war, the Izhevsk Arsenal of the Soviet Union developed a KPV heavy machine gun using 14.5x114mm anti-tank rifle rounds.

    However, because its weight was too heavy for the hard-pressed infantry to bear, wheels were added to the gun to facilitate transportation, and three models were developed: single-barreled, double-barreled, and quadruple-barreled, named zpu-1 and zpu respectively.  -2 and zpu-4.

    This type of double-mounted machine gun is called ZPU-2. Due to its outstanding firepower, the ZPU series of anti-aircraft machine guns have been introduced by many countries in addition to the Soviet Union¡¯s own use.

    Although in some countries with relatively developed militaries, it has long been eliminated.  But to this day, this roar of 14.5 still continues to sound in the chaotic Middle East and Africa.

    These terrorists are equipped with this guy, most likely for air defense.  However, with these things, the barrel can be placed in a horizontal position for flat sweeping.

    In fact, the 12.7 ammunition is already very terrifying, and it is enough to tear off human limbs after hitting the human body.

    The caliber of this thing is 14.5

    Lin Rui checked it and found that this thing was basically used to attack aircraft and light armor.  The ammunition equipped is 14.5mm instant explosion incendiary bomb.

    The warhead is loaded with explosives to increase the warhead¡¯s killing effect.  The warhead is composed of armor, powder shell, explosive, impact device and tracer tube.

    The powder shell is made of steel and is strong enough to withstand the pressure when armor squeezes into the rifling. It contains high explosives and black powder, and the front end is connected to the impact device.  Impact explosive devices include detonators, penetration tubes and bomb caps.

    There is a fire hole at the bottom of the powder shell connected to the tracer.  When fired, the ignition agent in the tracer tube is ignited and begins to trace after a certain distance from the muzzle, showing the trajectory.

    When hitting the target, the bullet cap is damaged, compresses the air in the penetration tube, generates high temperature, and ignites the detonator. In addition, the impact of the fragments of the bullet cap and penetration tube on the detonator causes the detonator to explode, and finally causes the warhead to explode.

    If the tracer tube has burned to the end but the warhead has not hit the target or object, the flame of the tracer will ignite the black powder and detonate the high explosive, causing the warhead to self-destruct in the air.

    It looks like a machine gun, but its effect is comparable to an automatic grenade launcher.  What's even worse is that the automatic grenade launcher can't keep up with the rate of fire of this thing.

    Seeing this, Lin Rui almost broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Eric was clever and not only killed the terrorist, but also deliberately shouted to muddy the waters so that other terrorists did not dare to come.

    If the terrorists take control of this machine gun, it will be almost impossible for the two of them to escape.

    "This kind of powerful weapon will be shattered into pieces if hit by one shot."

    Lin Rui and Eric had just loaded the ZPU-2 anti-aircraft machine gun with bullets.  I heard vehicles and people approaching in the distance.

    "Coming!" Lin Rui whispered.  After saying that, he immediately adjusted the direction of the machine gun.

    It is the reinforcements of this group of terrorists that are coming from a distance.  These terrorists had also just received news that there were signs of enemy invasion at the command headquarters.  They hurried over with people.

    ¡°In addition, just now, Eric called for help randomly.  This caused the terrorists in the headquarters to open fire wildly.

    Naturally, the terrorist reinforcements also heard this intensive gunfire.

    The leading terrorist took a look and said, "Oh no, what does the dense gunfire from the headquarters mean? It means that the enemy has already rushed into the headquarters."

    Therefore, this terrorist immediately asked his men to step up their defense and protect the headquarters. Don't let the enemy take over the headquarters.

    So a large number of terrorists hurried back.  Seeing this, Eric yelled, "The enemy is attacking!"

    The terrorist leader inside the headquarters could not clearly see the situation ahead. He could only hear the people at the machine gun fire point in front shouting that the enemy was coming.  He immediately shouted nervously, "Get ready for battle!"

    When he shouted in his voice, Lin Rui didn't care, he controlled the machine gun and opened fire.

    The terrifying gunfire of the ZPU-2 anti-aircraft machine gun instantly covered the past.

    Several terrorist armed vehicles rushing in front were destroyed instantly and burst into flames.

    These terrorist agents who came to supportThe militants defended the army, and a fierce exchange of fire broke out.

    This time, their luck was obviously better than the last two times.  These terrorists are a bit overwhelmed.

    On the one hand, the gunshots coming from the base camp behind made these terrorists panic, and many of them had begun to lose interest in fighting.

    On the other hand, the terrorists did not expect such a night attack.

    Because they have fought against the Malian government forces many times.  The two sides basically fought intermittently. In previous battles, it was almost impossible to fight at night.

    Although both sides would launch shelling and shooting from time to time, they were just for show, to intimidate the enemy or disturb the other party's rest.

    There is no precedent for such night operations.  So this time the terrorists suffered a heavy loss.

    But it is precisely because the Malian government forces fundamentally lack experience in night fighting.  The speed of action is too slow.

    So although these terrorists were repelled, their losses were not very great.  Otherwise, the Malian government forces might really be able to drive them out of the town.

    After Lin Rui and Eric escaped, they accidentally encountered a Malian government army team that entered the town.

    Originally, Sister Lin thought they were here to rescue her, but after asking, she found out that this Malian government army team had gone the wrong way while fighting at night.

    They had no direction during the melee, so they entered the town in a confused manner.

    Lin Rui was also surprised after hearing this, "If you follow this path and continue walking, you will reach the fortress occupied by terrorists. There will be at least hundreds of militants there."

    The Malian government army second lieutenant who was leading the team was stunned when he heard this.  He thought he had been walking towards his own position, but unexpectedly, he broke into the enemy's base camp out of nowhere.

    "Okay, brother. Otherwise, you can work hard and continue to rush in. The honor of killing the terrorist leader with your own hands will be left to you." Eric said coldly.

    "No, no, no, we must act according to the order. The higher ups asked us to launch the attack, mainly to cover the troops who invaded the enemy's fortress.

    We have to carry out the mission, and after covering it, it¡¯s time to retreat.  "The black officer shook his head.

    "After working on it for a long time, it turns out that you are the supporting force." Lin Rui frowned.

    "No, we are the covering force. The other two teams are responsible for the response. We have a clear division of labor." The black officer explained quickly.

    "What about them?" Lin Rui asked.

    "I don't know, maybe, maybe maybe they are also going the wrong way." The young black officer looked embarrassed.

    Lin Rui shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, let's retreat. I know the way, otherwise you follow us.

    If you, the dozen or so of you, continue to wander around, sooner or later you will all have to stay here.  "

    "You two are leaving too? What about the other people inside?" the black officer asked.  "It sounds like the fighting is going on inside. Won't you stay and help?"

    "Then will you stay and help?" Lin Rui asked.

    "Uh we have a mission. Our mission is to cover and then retreat." The black officer looked embarrassed.

    "I'm really convinced by these guys. They are obviously afraid of death, but they still come here to pretend to be with me." Eric sighed.

    "Forget it, we finally met friendly forces." Lin Rui shook his head and said to the black officer, "There is no one inside, just the two of us."

    "You two? You two made such a big fuss?" The black officer obviously didn't believe it.

    But after thinking about it for a while, he grinned and shook his head and said, "Okay, no matter whether you are or not, I will treat you as you are. Anyway, we have completed the mission. Retreat!"

    The black Malian officer waved his hand and ordered to retreat. Eric quickly pulled him back, "This way, go this way!"

    "Oh, the roads here look the same. Maybe I'm wrong again, but we should be able to walk this way too." The black officer grinned, showing his white teeth.

    "If we go that way, we will directly encounter the enemy's checkpoint. With just a dozen of us, there is no way we can confront the enemy head-on." Lin Rui shook his head.

    He could finally see that this small group of government troops could get here purely due to their own luck.
